Accusations Against Sidney B.
 Wood.

Sidney E. Wood stands charged by some of the merchants of this place, as having ruined the trade of Hope, by selling goods at too close Il margin. They say ''we do not get good profits like we did be. fore Sidney cane here" but that Sidney Wood is shearing off the fat with his close prices. and we must 1 either follow OF let him sell the goods They say that ''he is now furnishing his trade with good ice water, and we will have to follow or plead to our customers, that he will make 1t up on them" All right good, friends, we prefer the latter. What is the loss of one is the gain of the other. It is his uniformly low prices that place him on the top round of the ladder of big sales. His trade is grow ing to immense proportions his sales since January last, have in- creased nearly three fold as com pared with the same period of for mer years. He does not attribute ] his increase of sales to his low prices alone. for others fall ii on 1 the low price scale, as soon as he has made them, but to his fair, ! square dealing, giving Is ounces to the ponnd, and 36 inches ta the yard, aud to his motto, s'be good to the people, and the people will be good to you.' l claim without fear of contradiction, te do more for the people who trade with me, than other merchants do for theirs 1 l stealfastly continue tc serve the people, and bear inc complaints of my competitors.

The Hope Barbecne.

Saturday we attended the Hope barbecue and centennial celcbra- ton. There was large crowt present, variously estimated al from two to five thousand. About 10 o'clock A. M., the multitude lropairea to the beautiful grove just back uf the Summers House where addresses were made by tie following named gentlemen after prayer was offered by Rev. Mir. Cheatham and the reading ot declaration of Independence by Rev. Mr HawlcN: First came Governor Hughes in one of his representative efforts, delivered from manus cript, about an hour in length. After him came Senator Berry, In one of his happy, sympa- thetic and we'll timed speeches. Prof James Mitchell of the Arkan. sas Democrat, made Il fine address. Then Hon. T. C. McRae responded, in his impressive, telling manuer. And Senator Jones and Hon. J. r. Eagle closed the exercises with short talks. Senator Berry and Hon. T. c. McRae were more hear tily and often applauded than the other speakers, it seemed to Us. All dld well. Sorry our space will not permit a short resume of the speeches.
 The speaking closed at o'clock, when marshall otthe. day, Bride well, invited everybody to repair to the we'll arranged, tables to par take Of, the fat things prepared for them. There were barbecued meats of different kinds, bread, cake, etc. The speakers and edi tors were kindly given a special table. together, which favor was highly appreciated. As there was a shower of rain just before the meats were done and ready for the table, they were not as good as they would otherwise have been. However, all seemed satis- fled, and enjoyed the dinner very much. tf.. .4 ..

ST. AUGUSTINE'S CURIOSITIES.
The Government Orders the Apaches
to Alabama.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 2l.-This
o'clock CASTOR LaCroix, a popular French
gentleman of this city, was married TO Miss
Eugenia Comstock, Rev. r. H. Weller per-
forming the ceremony. The happy pair
left on the S:20 O'Clock train for Fernandina
and will so thence to Savannah on brief
bridal tour
Orders have been received at ST. Angus
tine from the War Department for the re
moval of the Apache Indians confined there
in old Fort Marion TO Mount Vernon, Ala.
and preparations for the transfer are now
going on. Yesterday Col Pratt of the
United States army, who has charge of the
famous Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, passed
through the city EN- route to the old city,
where he will gather together whatever re
mains of the Indian children who may be
eligible to enter the school and take them
back with him.
If there is anything the average Apache
particularly dislikes it is to be hauled around
over the country in railroad trains. At
least it would seem so, for it is said that as
soon rs the news of their intended removal
reached the ears of the duslky braves they
made the walls and rampartS of the old fort
echo with their loud gruntS and expressions
of disapproval at this arbitrary action of
Uncle Sam. They have made night hideous
thereabouts for the last few evenings by the
mcantations and orgies of their mysterious
medicine dance. 1t is a misrepresentation
to say that they were poorly fed, ill-treated
or unhealthy; on the contrary they were
well cared for and had become seemingly
perfectly contented with their lot. 1t is
question whether they will be any better
provided for elsewhere, and certainly they
can be no healthier

He Was Treacherously Decoyod
Across the Line and then Chased
Back Into France.
PARIS, April 21.--M. Schnaebeles, Special
French Commissary at Pagny- Sur MoSelle
Depot, has been arrested by the Germans.
He had received several letters from the
German Police Commissioner at AIRS asking
him to come to that place and confer with
him regarding the frontier service He
finally agreed to do 50. While on his way
to Ars he was roughly seized by German
police and was taken to Noveant from
which place he was sent to Metz The Net
ger Zeitittg says NJ Schnaebeles' arrest is
due to his connection with the anti-GeTlnan
agitation conducted by the patriotic league,
but the people of Pagny-Sur Moselle declare
this to be entirely untrue, and say that he
had nothing to do with the agitation. The
incident has thrown the inhabitants of Metz
and Nancy into the widest state of excite
ment
Rentes were unfavorably affected by the
arrest of NJ Schnaebeles. The market for
3 per cent. renteS for account became fat and
quotations declined 45 centimes during the
afternoon, closing at the lowest prices.
The arrest of M. Schnaebeles has produced
a profound sensation, and it is feared may
lead to unfortunate results. lie Paris calls
it another prOvocation,n and asks if Prince
Bismarck is seeking a cGslts betti.
PICTURED AS AN OUTRAGE.
The Germans requested Commissary
Schnaebeles TO set up one of the posts which
mark the frontier The conmisSary crossed
the boundary and advanced few yards on
German soil, when he was seized by German
police agents, VINO were disguised in gray
blouses. He knocked the agents down and
escaped back to French territory, but he
was again seized, handcuffed and sent to
Metz, where he was placed in the prison
in which accused persons are con
fined before trial The warrant
for his arrest enlanated from the public
prosecutor at Metz, who acted under instruc-
tions from Strasburg. The French procu-
rator at Nancy has gone to Pagny to in

der on Matthews.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 2l,-A special from
Ozark, Mo. says the Bald KnobbeFs' situation
is becoming more serious each day and the
prisoners are beginning to show considerable
uneasineSs. Yesterday Charlie Graves, a
prominent member of the midnight raiders,
entered the confessional and, after long
story of the raids he had attended, giving
the names of the men who had accompanied
him, he fixed the murder of George Edens
on John Matthews. On the first assault on
Edens' house George was shot down but not
killed. After ransacking the house
the masked men retired and
Georges mother was holding Georges
head while he lay ON the floor. Matthews
appeared at the door and took deliberate
aim at the wounded man and put bullet
through his head, killing him. Graves says
he met John Matthews coming from the
house and heard him say that he was mad
because he had been wounded in the back
of the head, and had returned to the house
just as the party were leaving and
finished the work begun on George Edens
Parsons, Simons and VIII Newton want to
make confessions to save themselves, but
the prosecution refuse to accept them, as
they say they now have enough testimony.
